Frommer's Review

When this likable restaurant and its crowded-with-novelties gift emporium opened here, in what was originally conceived in the 1950s as a member of the Piggly Wiggly grocery store chain, a team of designers added decorative touches such as a spectacular Murano glass chandelier. Menu items are savory, flavorful, and popular, including shrimp and grits; Thai-style chicken wraps; shrimp-studded BLTs; grilled chicken salads; and a blue-plate special that, on the night of our visit, included stuffed chicken breasts with mozzarella, basil, and tomato. Come here for a sense of fun and whimsy and artfully offhanded cuisine. Brunch is a popular tradition here.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
